    This is a discussion concerning integrated learning in Middle School. It is possible to integrate curriculum between content areas in any school, but some exciting breakthroughs are happening in middle years.

    Check out the documents section in this group. Mordialloc Year 7 Learning Center in Australia has created an amazing example of integrated curriculum. Their Capacity Matrices are posted in this section. Mordialloc created a 7th grade learning center where students create their own learning projects integrated between 7 content areas which include french. Students manage their entire day. Approximately 170 students are housed in one room.

    Students belong to 7 different family groups called families. Each family has a family guide (teacher) who guides and supports the students. When they meet as an entire group that is called the neighborhood. Even if you don’t have the big common space an integrated project oriented learning environment can still be created.
